What I read in September 2020

September has been yet another absolute weirdo of a month. Coronavirus feels like it's getting well out of control again globally but it's also coinciding with a lot of people giving significantly less of a shit about it. It's terrifying how many people think a global pandemic is some sort of mind-control hoax but here…

The Read More Book Club: October 2020 #wordsfromhome and #horrorclassics

Happy October everyone! Once again I'm back to elaborate a little on what The Read More Book Club will be up to during the spookiest month of the year. I first wrote about TRMBC on my blog last month, but it's been running since July. There are now over 40 members, two active group chats…

The Read More Book Club: September 2020 wrap-up #feminist fiction

Morning all! Incredibly, that's September done and dusted for another year. It's been another shitehawk of a month 2020-wise with a lot of us back under some variation of lockdown and governments around the world losing any sort of grip on reality. So thank God that books exist to get lost in. Once again The…

Under the radar haunted house novels you need to know about

I don't know about you but my mind is firmly on Halloween (y'know, apart from the millions of other things we have to think and worry about) and specifically my TBR list for the run up to the spookiest day. The haunted house is my favourite horror sub-genre so I spend a lot of time…

The Read More Book Club: September 2020 #feministfiction

I've never written about The Read More Book Club (TRMBC) on my blog yet, mostly because I've not been writing about anything on my blog but you know how it is: something, something, unprecedented times. We're actually now into the third month of TRMBC but better late than never, right? It's the fifth of the…

What I read in August 2020

I feel like August was a strange sort of month overall. I spent a lot of it in a state of profound anxiety so I wasn't as up for reading as much as usual. But that said, I still managed to cram in some amazing reads. For The Read More Book Club this month the…

My Dark Vanessa by Kate Elizabeth Russell | why I can’t get this book out of my head

I don't find reviewing books easy. It's not something that comes naturally to me and more often than not I'll procrastinate on it to the point it never gets done. Sometimes though, a book will come along where my own laziness is the least of my worries when it comes to a review. Sometimes, a…

What I’ve Been Reading This Week | April 27 – May 3, 2020

How weird is time acting just now? Super fast one minute then crazy slow the next. It was a busy week with work so I guess that sped things up a bit but the weekend has no excuse! Yesterday I had so many grand plans to get things done but instead I just got angry…
